Two Lips

2. Nightmare. Just a nightmare.

Chantelle's POV

I looked over at my car window. My mom waved goodbye as if it was my end. I start driving to Gabriel's house. I looked at my side window and saw a car speeding like there's no tomorrow. I honked my horn trying to signal him to stop. He sped up. This hoe lost control so I swerved to the other lane. I also lost control and slid my car down a mini cliff. As I slid, I felt my car flip and I figured that I was now sliding sideways.

My vision blurred.
I blacked out.

I start gaining conscious. I felt water splash my face. WATER! River!! I held my breath. I waited about 3 seconds but nothing was happening. I just kept on sliding. Right, coffee. That was my coffee. My vision started to blur again. My car stopped. I felt my head bump on a hard surface. I once again, blacked out.

:::::::

"Chantelle! Chantelle wake up!" A voice says. I got up. I felt sweat racing down my cheeks and forehead. I also felt tears running down my face. I felt completely out of breath. Nightmare. Just a nightmare.

I looked up. A guy was standing by my bed. He gives me a long, big hug and I found myself crying in his arms.

"Are you alright Elle?" He asks.
"N-no." I sobbed.
"Its okay. Just a dream. Its just a dream." He comforts me.
"I-I was sliding down a-a cliff." I manage to spit out.

Gabriel's POV

"I-I was sliding down a-a cliff." She says.

A cliff! Thats where she was found! She had a dream about the place. Should I ask for more info orr........?
Okay brain. Let her rest. She'll tell you what she wants.

"A-a guy was uh speeding and he-he lost control so I-I swerved then I also lost control." She explains still with a broken voice.
"Its okay. Its all okay now." I tried to comfort her.
"Wh-why am I in a hospital?" She asks.
"Did I actually get in an accident?!" She continued but there was more panic in her voice.
"No no no. Uhm. One second." I lied and excused myself out of the room.

She's not herself! She really doesn't remember! What happened?! This is not fair. She deserves to know what happened but I just lied to her!

I calmed myself.

I ran to get the doctor to tell them that Chantelle was awake. They did some kind of shitty check up on her and of course, I had to wait outside. While sitting and waiting, I got to thinking,
How will she know?
How will she remember?
Will she ever remember?
What about me?
Her family?
How do I tell them what happened?!
I tried to clear my head but I just can't. This is all too much. Chantelle deserves to know everything but how can she if she can't even remember the damn reason why she's in the fucking hospital.

A few minutes later, the doctors allowed me to hang with her for a while.

"Retrograde amnesia?! What the fuck is that?!" She asks.
"Wait you know?" I also ask.
"Wait wait wait. Who are you?!"
"Calm Elle. Its Gabe. Remember me?"
"I don't know a guy named Gabe"
"Babe its me"
"Don't call me babe! What is the matter with you?!"
"Sorry nevermind that.
So tell me, what happened in your dream?" I asked 'casually'.
"I uh remember leaving the house and my mom saying goodbye. Th-then I-I was driving th-then a guy was speeding. I lost c-control an-and I remember my car flipping and a river." She started to break down again.

She remembers her mom in her dream?!
I don't understand. She doesn't even remember ME.
I need a break from this. I stepped outside and got some fresh air.
